  1. Less than one month away! I get in on Wednesday night and look forward to putting together some fun freefly dives
  2. All I know is that I'm looking forward to getting some pretty wild ass fun time freeflying going on
  3. Here are just a couple of neat photos I snapped during the boogie. It was a great turnout, a lot of fun freeflying, lots of first time produce jumps (that watermelon was INSANE), and lots of staying up late partying with some DAMN good beer and music. All in all, a 10/10 108 way head down world record!!! http://www.simonbones.com Hit me up on Facebook
  4. I'm hopping on a plane this afternoon to get the party started. Who's going to be ready to freefly first thing tomorrow morning? 108 way head down world record!!! http://www.simonbones.com Hit me up on Facebook
  5. I'm a satisfied graduate of Selwyn's skydiving community college and I proudly earned my degree in freefly douchebaggery. I used to be a sad pathetic freefly sub-douchebag and one day I became sick of it all and called Selwyn's hotline (800) SMACK-IT. I told him, I don't just want to look graceful next to your tunnel walls, I want to smack them as hard as I can! And with his help I smacked those walls until I no longer had any real desire to do so anymore. Thanks Selwyn and your skydiving community college. Now I can enter into your training chamber with no desire to smack the walls. Without you, I never would have achieved this level of douchebaggery. Now if only I could find a real college of BASE I can stop hitting power lines 108 way head down world record!!! http://www.simonbones.com Hit me up on Facebook
  6. Found these photos from the last Suffolk boogie. Good freakin skydives
  7. I also vote for Selwyn times ten. What makes him a great tunnel coach is his ability to communicate clearly with you in the tunnel. While other coaches will try to mouth words and give hand signals that you have no idea what they mean, Selwyn just seems to somehow make the right expressions and movements that make you understand. Your time is utilized better and your learning curve is better. Selwyn has helped and refined my flying a whole lot and when I get my ass back to the NC tunnel, he's the one I call. I have worked with other coaches before, but Selwyn takes the cake. 108 way head down world record!!! http://www.simonbones.com Hit me up on Facebook
  8. Only a couple weeks away! You guys have got to check out the video I've got of this big ass 520ft crane I jumped last night I've got word from some old CSS buddies coming out too
  9. From the BBC article posted above: "Hours before his [Czech Prime Minister] remarks, President Obama appealed for all countries to bear the burden of spending to stimulate the world economy." No hidden agenda here. Just a response to a request. Maybe Obama should listen. 108 way head down world record!!! http://www.simonbones.com Hit me up on Facebook
  10. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/7963359.stm The official stance of the EU is that the US 'just keep spending' technique is just plain FUBAR. This isn't being said by Republicans trying to bash Democrats, or Democrats trying to bash Republicans. This is being said by a large group of different countries with different cultures, histories, philosophies, experience, etc coming together to move the world forward in a better direction. They're not going to be running against Obama in 2012. They're neither republican nor democrat. I agree. Maybe Obama ought to listen. 108 way head down world record!!! http://www.simonbones.com Hit me up on Facebook
  11. Count me in! Coming back to Raeford to cause more trouble! Keep an eye out for streakers 108 way head down world record!!! http://www.simonbones.com Hit me up on Facebook
  12. I'm trying to figure out getting there. Had a blast with you guys last year! I'm guessing that Charlotte is the best airport to fly into? Any kind of carpooling ideas yet for to/from airport if anyone ele is flying in? 108 way head down world record!!! http://www.simonbones.com Hit me up on Facebook
  13. Actually Tim, what makes them have the cheapest jumps is once you factor in the 5 jump discount. Then jump tickets are down to something like $17.50 each. If I remember clearly, the way Larry did it was $23 a ticket for the first 5 jumps of the day, then $12 per ticket for every subsequent jump of the day. 10 jumps in a day will average to $17.50 each. So, if you want to make a bunch of jumps at the boogie, then they become the cheapest jumps on the East coast. Second in the country, only to Lodi, CA. I love the PAC! Every DZ needs one. 108 way head down world record!!! http://www.simonbones.com Hit me up on Facebook
  14. 10 points for Speed Racer! That's fucking funny Thanks, I needed that! 108 way head down world record!!! http://www.simonbones.com Hit me up on Facebook
  15. Fixed the thread title for you. If you believe Fox News is biased, that's fine. I won't argue your beliefs. If you're going to make claims supporting your opinion, at least use some kind of real evidence. 108 way head down world record!!! http://www.simonbones.com Hit me up on Facebook
  16. Bogus edit, sure. Fox News did it, agree. Slam Biden? Where was Biden being slammed at all? To me it just looked like they were looking for sound bites to try and make positive reports about the economy. I saw no smearing or slamming of Biden at all. I think you're thread title s a bit off. So is the the point you're trying to make. I'm not saying you're wrong in your opinions, but this is pretty poor evidence. 108 way head down world record!!! http://www.simonbones.com Hit me up on Facebook
  17. The point was that this has not been a "War with Iraq" for 5 years now. The media can't seem to figure that out at all. Plus it's great leverage to use for political purposes. I just get tired of hearing it over and over again. The war with Iraq is over. It's been over. 108 way head down world record!!! http://www.simonbones.com Hit me up on Facebook
  18. The media is still referring to OEF as the War in Iraq. Who are we still at war with? Iraq? Baghdad fell in April 2003. Sadam was captured in December 2003. We won the Iraq war before 2004 was over and ended the "war" against Iraq. 108 way head down world record!!! http://www.simonbones.com Hit me up on Facebook
  19. I landed one once with a toggle and rear riser due to a stuck toggle. It all depends on the specific type of tandem canopy. There are some I can flare with rear risers, others I'd chop no question about it. But simply resorting to PLFing or something would be unacceptable on a tandem. 108 way head down world record!!! http://www.simonbones.com Hit me up on Facebook
  20. It's official and finalized! I'll be at the boogie in Virginia for freefly organizing on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Looks like VA will be suffering through more spaceball dives, track dives, hybrids, VRW dives, and produce dives. Don't we all remember the old school days of produce dives (pic attached)? I'll also be shooting a lot of free photography of all those on my organized dives and doing free freefly training seminars (over beer). Aah Suffolk! Cheapest skydives on the east coast and the state capitol of VA freeflying. Who knew it was possible to catch a 160mph pumpkin in freefall and bring it safely back to the ground!?!? 108 way head down world record!!! http://www.simonbones.com Hit me up on Facebook
  21. The editing was terrible and probably done by a douchebag! 108 way head down world record!!! http://www.simonbones.com Hit me up on Facebook
  22. Congrats Ian! Glad to hear you're so excited about parenting
  23. He strikes again! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wa1_K_Su1BA and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OcfWDfayC7g&feature=related Turtlerotica
  24. If I pick up some time at the tunnel, would anyone out there be interested in splitting it and doing some fun ways? 108 way head down world record!!! http://www.simonbones.com Hit me up on Facebook
